Our Values

Relentless Execution

We operate with urgency, precision, and grit. No excuses just results. Every problem gets owned, cracked, and delivered.

Extreme Ownership

No hand-holding. Everyone is a decision-maker. We take full responsibility for the wins, and for the fixes when things break.

Principle Reasoning

We challenge assumptions, break models, and rebuild from ground truth. We don’t do things because “others do” we do what works.

High Agency, Always

We move fast, stay scrappy, and figure things out. Speed and self-direction are in our DNA. We don’t wait we take charge, adapt, and drive.

No Ego, Just Results

We debate hard and execute harder. Zero politics, 100% focus on shipping. It’s never about credit, just impact and progress.

If math, code, and markets keep you up at night — we’re already on the same team.
